Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport is an Australian motor racing team, established late in 2009 to compete in the V8 Supercar Championship. Nick Percat and Tim Blanchard are the teams current drivers. ==Background== Lucas Dumbrell comes from a strong motorsporting family, both his father Garry and his brother Paul raced in open wheel and touring car racing. Garry had also owned Gibson Motorsport in 2000. Lucas was making his own way through the junior ranks of Australian motorsport when a racing accident at Oran Park Raceway in his Formula Ford racing car left Dumbrell a quadraplegic. Dumbrell refocussed his career ambitions and began developing a V8 Supercar team to race in the 2010 season. At the end of 2009 a Racing Entitlement Contract (REC) was purchased from Tasman Motorsport, and a Holden VE Commodore was sourced from Walkinshaw Racing. Daniel Gaunt was signed to drive for the team.〔 In the lead up to the 2010 Sucrogen Townsville 400, it was announced that Gaunt had left the team and been replaced in the short term by Cameron McConville. With McConville unavailable for the endurance race season the team also announced Nathan Pretty and Mark Noske as the team's drivers for the Phillip Island and Bathurst endurance races, having previously announced Scott Pruett as their international driver for the Gold Coast 600. After the Gold Coast 600, it was announced Warren Luff would drive full-time for the rest of the 2010 season and 2011.〔(Luff aiming to be best one car v8 team ) SpeedCafe.com.au 2010-11-01. Retrieved 2010-11-02〕 Luff remained with the team for 2011, with Nathan Pretty returning for the Phillip Island and Bathurst endurance races. For the Gold Coast 600, Marino Franchitti joined the team. For 2012, Luff left the team and was replaced by Taz Douglas. The team purchased a Triple Eight built Holden VE Commodore from Paul Morris Motorsport. Scott Pye joined the team for the endurance races. In 2013, the team expanded to two cars, with two new VF Commmodores built by Triple Eight, driven by Dean Fiore and Scott Pye. To race the second car, a REC was purchased from Paul Morris Motorsport. In 2014 the team scaled back to one car with Russell Ingall driving.〔(Russell Ingall joins Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport ) V8 Supercars 4 February 2014〕 The second REC was returned to V8 Supercars Australia. In the first race of the 2014 Tyrepower Tasmania 400, Ingall finished in 4th - the team's highest finishing position to date. For the 2015 International V8 Supercars Championship former James Rosenberg Racing driver Nick Percat and Tim Blanchard were signed.
